Game:
Pinwheel is a one-directional, side-scrolling, 2d platformer, where you control a pinwheel. The levels are randomly generated, and extend infinitely in one direction. Every level offers a new and unique build, which provides for challenging and rewarding fun.
After you have collected a set amount of coins, you can unlock different seasons that add a refreshing look to the game play. You can also unlock new colors for your pinwheel in the store.
In the level, there the three different kinds of traps: spikes, mines, and saws. There is 15 unlockable colors and 4 unlockable seasons.
There are multiple layers that are used to add depth to the game, and coins that spawn randomly throughout each level.
This game is cross-platform, and works on both mobile phone, and computers.

Platform:
I plan to release the game to the Web through clay.io. Windows, Mac, and Linux will be released though http://www.itch.io. I also plan to release to the Firefox marketplace. I would like to release to the Chrome Webstore, possibly once the other planed platforms are released.
This game is my entry for the http://www.clay.io "Got Game?" student competition. For more information on the "Got Game?" student competition please visit http://www.clay.io/gotgame.
